it’s not (easily) possible to move the searchform into the nav bar. You can change its position however it won’t be part of the navbar afterwards. This mdification would require some code modifications to the menu function…

Well my client wants a full width header and the only way to do that is to move the search box. I’m also having issues when I try to change any background colors. This theme’s CSS is way different than what I’ve worked on before.

You can position it absolute by using following css code – add following code to custom.css (located in the folder “css”):

#searchform{
right: 20px;
top: 30px;
}

If you increase the right value the form will be pushed to the left, if you increase the top value the form will be pushed towards the bottom. By adjusting both vales you can place the form where you want…

You can change the some colors (body bg color) in the Broafdscope options panel. Other background colors require css modifications (which should go into custom.css). Some backgrounds use images so you need to adjust them too. What do you want to change?
